We're lucky to live in the Treasure Valley, and the list of reasons that make this area and this community so great is about a mile long. From the unique access to both city and wildlife to the safety and kindness in our streets--Boise is a special place.

One element that makes Boise so special? Local business.

Not only are we surrounded by great locally owned businesses of all kinds but we live in a place where people understand just how important it is to shop, buy, and support those local places.

One local business is celebrating the anniversary of opening their doors to the Treasure Valley, and in doing so...they're making a splash.

Free. Haircuts. ALL. DAY. LONG.

Locally owned and operated Empire Hair Studio made the announcement on Facebook:

Over the past few years, we’ve built more than a barbershop—we’ve built a team, a culture, and a community. Now it’s time for the next chapter. Join us as we officially celebrate the relaunch of Empire Hair Studio.

 

Empire Hair Studio, located on Fairview Avenue in Boise, will be 're-launching' and celebrating another year of business and they hope to show off their shop to new customers, too!
